RENOVATION OF THE BULAWAYO CREMATORIUM

This is a public thanks to those generous folk who have already donated to this worthy project, an appeal for further donations and an update to let you know that the committee is obligated to having the cremator up and running by the end of July!!

We have sourced in SA and already paid for all the materials required - approx R180,000 We now await the sourcing of the new gauges required Arrangements are already in place to move these materials from Durban to Bulawayo A committee is in place to organise the "demolition" of the present cremator in preparation for the professional cremator (from SA) who will carry out the actual building of the new one, and work begins next week.
A technician will do the final commissioning and provide details of operational procedures.
A trust is being formed not only to control present expenditure, but also to provide funds for the ongoing maintenance and operations of the cremator

If you would like further information please contact Kathy Booysen (Datvest), our treasurer, with financial queries or myself - she will certainly be able to answer your questions whilst I will "try my best"!

Thank you all for your support - we just never know how soon we may need this facility!!

LIFE AFTER THE FESTIVAL
PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO P.O.BOX 2360 - BULAWAYO

We have plenty of music lined up for you in June but life after the Festival has been considerably complicated by ZESA! - though, before moving on to that, I should thank ZESA for their co-operation during the Festival. As you may have noticed, there were virtually no power cuts for its entire duration, just a short one early on Saturday morning which was evidently an error! We are very grateful.

However, it would seem that the load-shedding schedules have been revised and the Academy's periods without power completely altered. I'm hoping for written confirmation (has anyone got hold of a copy of the revised listings?) but have been told verbally that the Academy is now scheduled for morning cuts on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays with the afternoon/evening cuts on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. This, of course, has a decided impact on the DVD evenings as the projector cannot be powered by an inverter so we shall have to change completely the days on which we show DVDs.

In addition the Academy has other hall bookings for June so it's not possible to bring The Merry Widow forward by 24 hours which means we will have to postpone it to the following Friday, 13 June. There are other complications too and, until in particular we have some certainty of the ZESA schedules, the following can only be a provisional summary of the events we are planning for June:
Thursday 5 June at 5.15 p.m. Mahler: Symphony No.8
Monday 9 June at 5.00 p.m. Academy Concert: Natascha Muller & Amy Wawn
Thursday 12 June at 1.10 p.m. Leonard Bernstein discusses Das Lied von der Erde
Friday 13 June at 6.30 p.m. Lehar: The Merry Widow
Thursday 19 June at 5.15 p.m. Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Thursday 26 June at 1.10 p.m. Four Ways to Say Farewell: Leonard Bernstein discusses Mahler's Ninth Symphony
Friday 27 June at 5.30 p.m. Rimsky-Korsakov: Sadko
Thursday 3 July at 5.15 p.m. Mahler: Symphony No.9
All events in June are in the Robert Sibson Hall. Some details:

STUDENT CONCERT
Two of the Academy's most promising students will be taking piano exams shortly, Natascha Muller Grade 6 and Amy Wawn Grade 7, and they will play all their exam pieces in a short concert on Monday 9 June at 5.00 p.m. - so come and support Bulawayo's rising talent! No entry charge though donations will not be refused...

OPERAS
Two very different operas in June - and both with supper intervals! Lehar's The Merry Widow on FRIDAY 13 JUNE is too well-known to need any introduction and receives a sumptuous staging from the Zurich Opera with at least one surprise - on this occasion, the male septet lamenting the difficulties of dealing with women is countered by a female septet detailing the fairer sex's problems with men!

Two weeks later on FRIDAY 27 JUNE, there will be a novelty in the shape of Sadko by Rimsky-Korsakov who died a hundred years ago on 20 June 1908, so this will represent an appropriate centenary tribute. Although best remembered for Scheherazade, the Capriccio espagnol and other orchestral works, Rimsky was primarily an operatic composer with fifteen to his credit. Sadko is one of the finest and Robert Layton has written that "for this listener, at least, the finest of the Rimsky-Korsakov operas bring to life a world of magic and mystery, and Sadko in particular with its fairy-tale atmosphere exhibits an imagination and innocence that are quite special." It tells an exotic tale of the sea-faring adventures of the legendary minstrel Sadko and Valery Gergiev directs a huge cast in a truly spectacular staging from the Kirov Opera including an under-sea ballet and all manner of delights. "A shimmering fairy tale of an opera.. lovely tunes to beguile the ear" [Amazon.com] .

Tickets for both operas: $20 000 000.00. Programmes will be available in advance at the Academy and there will be a supper interval at both operas.
MAHLER
The Mahler cycle continues on Thursday 5 June with the vast Eighth Symphony which calls for eight soloists, boys' chorus [the Vienna Boys Choir on this occasion], adult choruses and huge orchestra. Two weeks later on Thursday 19 June, in the strongest contrast comes Das Lied von der Erde, the song-symphony considered by many to be Mahler's greatest work. Admission: $10 000 000.00
LUNCHTIME TALKS
These will be given by Leonard Bernstein in June! He recorded introductions to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde and the Ninth Symphony so we'll show these prior to the performances. Wednesday lunchtimes are another power cut problem at the Academy so, to be on the safe side, these lunchtime DVDs will be shown on Thursdays, not Wednesdays - so Thursday 12 & 26 June. Admission: $5 000 000.00
More to come in July including, we hope, on Monday 14 July the Drakensberg Boys Choir - so mark the date down now! Best wishes as always,
MICHAEL BULLIVANT

3 I have two large tree trunks which need cutting up into manageable pieces for the soup kitchens to cart away. Anyone able to do this for charity?
4 My husband's reclining chair which is about 40 years old has finally collapsed beyond repair. Anyone want to sell one? He is very mournful.

GPS / 1:50 000 ZIM maps
Is there anyone amongst the readership who can shed light on the dilemma of what GPS DATUM to use to coordinate our Zim 1:50 000 maps to the GPS so they both give the same figures - coordinates - for a particular place on the map?!! The maps give the datum as 'modified Clarke 1880' but this does not appear on any GPS I have seen! I have previously been given ARC 1950 to use, but seek confirmation or correction!!
Thanks Ernie van Staden. dhagaboy@mweb. co.zw Ph: (09) 252010 or 011 212 749.
